Question -

Showthat the function defined by f (x) = cos (x2)is a continuous function.



Answer -

Thegiven function is (x) = cos (x2)

Thisfunction f is defined for every real number and f canbe written as the composition of two functions as,

f = g o h,where g (x) = cos x and h (x)= x2

Ithas to be first proved that (x) = cos x and h (x)= x2 are continuous functions.

It isevident that g is defined for every real number.

Let c bea real number.

Then, g (c)= cos c

Therefore, g (x)= cos x is continuous function.

h (x)= x2

Clearly, h isdefined for every real number.

Let k bea real number, then h (k) = k2

Therefore, h isa continuous function.

It isknown that for real valued functions and h,suchthat (h) is defined at c, if iscontinuous at and if is continuousat (c), then (g) iscontinuous at c.

Therefore, is a continuousfunction.
